“As long as a film stays unmade, the book is entirely yours, it belongs to the writer. As soon as you make it into a film, suddenly more people see it than have ever read the book.”﻿- Iain Banks -

The Incredible Human Journeyhttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVD3WSHihvUrNch7tlUA_Rq-I99zL66Dp (5 parts)﻿﻿The Incredible Human Journey is a five-episode science documentary and
accompanying book, written and presented by Alice Roberts. It was first
broadcast on BBC television in May and June 2009 in the UK. It explains
the evidence for the theory of early human migrations out of Africa and
subsequently around the world, supporting the Out of Africa Theory. This
theory claims that all modern humans are descended from anatomically
modern African Homo sapiens rather than from the more archaic European
and Middle Eastern Homo neanderthalensis or the indigenous Chinese Homo
pekinensis, and that the modern African Homo sapiens did not interbreed
with the other species of genus Homo. Each episode concerns a different
continent, and the series features scenes filmed on location in each of
the continents featured.﻿﻿

Brain Games - National Geographic Serieshttp://braingames.nationalgeographic.com/episode/0/A poet once wrote, "We don't see the world as it is. We see the world as we are."

It's a matrix - it's a rendering - it's a mashup composed of prior experiences, expectations, prejudices, and stereotypes further clouding your already limited perception. Brain games helps you lift that veil revealing a new way to perceive your world by spotlighting these misperceptions with brain hacks, games and mind bending experiences. We will reveal the unreality behind your reality to see the world as it truly is. And yes, as we are.
